Run on real Partion works better as large image file. I's also interesting what do you do with colinux. A small image file (500MB) works also very fast. In this case windows cache the file in RAM. For Testing I'm using only small image files. It's easy to handle a backup of this files. I use small file, less than 1MB also to share data beetween varius version of colinus, if I update from one kernel version to other. I have a small booting image and access with this to large partion on real linux for running data, compiler and so on. -- Henry Nestler |
